The cable has a finished end on it and I can't find a wall plate or split grommet or anything to do what I want. I just need to run it straight from one side. to the other. I DONT want to have two wall plates with a connector on each side and a cable in between the wall.
Is there anything I can use to accomplish this?

Cut the end off, run cable through wall, replace end.

You could get one of these. 
Drill a hole in the wall and insert the cable through the hole and the grommet above. Press the grommet into the wall. Now the other end of the cable is free and you can attach that to a TV or whatever. No wall outlets. There are a bunch of these in my current home. The splitters are all underneath the home in the crawl space. |

A 45-70 should be about right.

What you need is called a passthrough plate.
They make them in various sizes and styles. A couple of those and two cut in rings should do it. |

Someone on our crew once drilled through the wall to install cable. They didn't think about the pocket door that was open.
Lucky for him, it was dead center so he put a door peep hole in it.
Two of these and use the low voltage rings to hold in place. Lowes |

Luckily for me they planned on deleting the door so they just capped off the end of the doorway, sealing the door (and my oops) in the wall for all eternity. |

Drill a hole in a blank wallplate on entry side and a coax wallplate on the finish side maybe?
Or these but they aren't flush like a blank. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Legrand-1-Gang-White-Decorator-Cable-Access-Brush-Wall-Plate-Insert/50110872 |

You'll need a lot bigger hole if you leave the connector on the end of the cable.
Cutting off the connector and then installing a new one afterwards would be the non-tarded way of doing it. |

You don't want twist on or other gimmick connectors. They live lives of fail.
If you are skeert of cutting coax, do this: Go to the local big box store. Buy two of the remodeling wall boxes Buy two of the F type wall plates that have a male F on the back side Buy a one-two foot F patch cable. Cut tunnel through wall, pull patch cable through, feed through one box, then the other, then install the first box. Screw the patch cable into the first wall plate, install the wall plate. Sit on haunches, drink beer. Move to other room, push patch cable into second box, tuck excess wire into wallspace, put insulation back, stuff second box in wall and install. Screw free end of patch cord into second plate, install second plate, congratulate self on job well done! |

Get a couple of blank plates and drill a hole. Get nylon, cause the plastic plates will split.
